PHILLIPS BROOKS. "The Magna Charta of the Kingdom of God." NEANDER. "Christ's manifesto, and the constitution of Christianity." Dr. JOHN WATSON. "The great proclamation, which by one effort lifted mankind on to that new and higher ground on which it has been painfully struggling ever since, but on the whole with sure but slow success, to plant itself, and maintain sure foothold." T. HUGHES. The Programme of Christianity OCTOBER 2 "There may be Worship without Words." LONGFELLOW. "All the world is the temple of God. Its worship is ministration. The commonest service is Divine service." GEORGE MACDONALD. THE PROGRAMME OF CHRISTIANITY. "To preach good tidings unto the meek: To build up the broken-hearted: To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound: To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: To comfort all that mourn: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them-- Beauty for Ashes, The Oil of Joy for Mourning, The Garment of Praise for the Spirit of Heaviness." HENRY DRUMMOND. The Lord's Supper OCTOBER 3 "The Lord's Supper, the right and need of every man to feed on God, the bread of divine sustenance, the wine of divine inspiration offered to every man, and turned by every man into what form of spiritual force the duty and the nature of each man required, how grand and glorious its mission might become! No longer the mystic source of unintelligible influence; no longer, certainly, the test of arbitrary orthodoxy; no longer the initiation rite of a selected brotherhood; but the great sacrament of man!... There is no other rallying place for all the good activity and worthy hopes of man. It is in the power of the great Christian Sacrament, the great human sacrament, to become that rallying place. Think how it would be, if some morning all the men, women, and children in this city who mean well, from the reformer meaning to meet some giant evil at the peril of his life to the school-boy meaning to learn his day's lesson with all his strength, were to meet in a great host at the table of the Lord, and own themselves His children, and claim the strength of His bread and wine, and then go out with calm, strong, earnest faces to their work. How the communion service would lift up its voice and sing itself in triumph, the great anthem of dedicated human life! Ah, my friends, that, nothing less than that, is the real Holy Communion of the Church of the living God." PHILLIPS BROOKS.
